Another k member Id question
It's different enough to not just cut and move it. I made a jig off a V8 k frame that uses K frame shoulder bolts and it locates the RH mount in the correct spot. I also made templates from a RH V8 mount. This K was a 67 one. I am going to make a jig to locate a 68-72 idler arm in the right spot. I removed the 67 only idler mount and scrapped it. This jig is nice for checking for straightness of the K frame as well as seam welding one on the bench and preventing warpage.
The LH front mount has changes for a V8 that include adding a stiffener plate and shortening the LH mount. See second pic for it trimmed down and stiffener added. This was copied off a factory 68-72 V8 K frame
